Tho invention of what are called
"doublets in diamond dealing can be
traced buck for centuries. One mode
of getting up false stones has been de-
scribed by jerome Cardan, who has
published in detail tho method of tho
inventor. one Zocolino. This persons
way of working was to procure thin
flake Of q worry inferior and cheap OK.
ample of the stone he desired to "im-
prove" choosing those which had little
color, md might in consequence be
procured ata nominal price. AS bot
tom for his ",nake-up" ho took u bit of
crystal which he had shaped to his pur-
pose; covering this with q transpart. :.
glue with which he had mixed necca.
sary coloring material, so us to be like
the finest specimen of the gem he in
tended to forge, ho carefully fixed OIL
tho flake of stone, and concealed tho
joining of tho two so deftly by careful
setting rs to make purchasers fancy
that his gems were not only genuine,
but really finer than those Of other Jew
elers. For timc Zocollno flourished,
and was enabled by means of his cum
ming worllnanshipto deceive tho clev-
crest lapidarics; but detection camo at
last, and put an end to his fraudulent
practices In gem making. 1t may be
mentioned rs warning TO travellers
that tho Singhalcso nc Colombo are
experts in such frauds, and frequently
persuade persons to purchase cleyerly
set up doublets, or pieces of rock crys-
tai cut and polished. Doublets In
many cases. especially when both parts
are really diamonds, are somewhat dlai-
cult to detect, even by men who have
mad great e2pGrici1erTer-siss the gem aud
jewel trades. Or,en when these
nave been set in cluster, It has bcN,
found on examination that Mt least onp
of the stones is made of PASTE or is per.
laps Ioublet. A rather curious story
went the rounds of tho press SONIC
years ago, when, on the doath of lady
OF title, 1t was found that more than
one-third OF tile family diamonds were
composed Of false stones. These imitn-
tions had been so beautifully executed,
that none but the clcvercst dealers
were able to detect them, while In the
case Of some of tho stones It was not
till their specific gravity had been
tested that decision could be arrived
at. 1t has been found on examination,
wo believe, that necklaces of so-callctl
real diamonds have often contained 90
per cent. Of doilblets or other stones
of questionable quality. Respectable
dealers in jewelry maintain that it is
the public who arc to blame for thc
production of false jewels, knowing
well enough that genuine gems coui.

their selection of stock, no gem being

The DelI of Justice.

1t is beautiful story that in one of
the old cities of Italy the king caused n
bell to be hung in tower in one of
the public squares, and called it the
bell of JUSTICE and commanded that
any one who had been wrongcd should
go and ring the bell, and so call the
magistrate of the city, and ask and re-
ceiye justice. Andwhen, in the course
OF time, the lower end o. the bell-ropc
rotted away, a wild vine was tied to it
to'lcngthen it: and ono day an old and
starving horse, that had been abandoned
by its owner, and turned out to die.
wandered into the tower and, in trying
to eat the vine, rang the bell And the
magistrate of the city, coming to SEQ
who rang the bell, found this Old and
starving horse; and lie caused the owner
of the horse, in whose service he had
toiled and been worn out, to be sum-
moned before him, and decreed that as
his poor horse had rung the bell of jug
tice he should have justice, and that
during the remainder of the horses
lifeihis owner should provide for him
proper. food and drink and stable,

Women rs LEGISLATORS.

] Women on an average havc little
sense of Justice, and hardly any sense
whatever of awarding to others a
freedom for which they do not care
themselves. Tho course of all modern
legislation is it's tendency TO make by
Laws, fretting and vcxatious laws
trcnching unjustilably on the personal
liberty of the individual. If women
were admitted to political power these
laws would be multiplied indefinitely
and inccssantly. Such medtlling legis-
lation ms the Sunday closing act in
England, and the Maine liquor laws in
the United States would be the Joy and
aim of the mass of female voters.
Women cannot understand that you
can mako no nntlon virtuous by net OF
parliament; they would construct their
acts Of parliament ON purpose to make
people yirtuous whether they choose or
not, and would not soc that this would
be form of tyranny as bad Ms any
other. SO The average man is not an
intellectual nor noble being; neither
Is the average woman. But there are
certain solid qualities in the malc
creature which are lacking from the
female; such qualities MS liberation
and calmncss in Judgment which are
of infinite value, and In which the
female character is almost Invariably
deficient; lack in her which makes
the prophecy OF Dumas that she will
one day I'LL judicial and forensic duties
a most alarming prospect, rs alarming
as the prediction of Goodwin Smith
that the negro population will event
ually outnumber and extinguish tho
Aryan race in the United States.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
| Special kilograms TO Bradstreet's, while
recording little actual improvement in
the condition of general trade throughout
the country, mention a better feeling at
Boston, Kansas City and Milwaukee, and
perceptible increase in the demand and
distribution ct Chicago, New Orleans and
San Francisco. At ST. Louis the move
satisfactory. At other points business is
described as fair, with indications of a
good demand in the near future.
| The total bank clearings at thirty-two
cities, as reported to Bradstreet's for the
past week, aggregate Sl,035, 1881, PSI,

with 81 ,05S 1855 In the opening week
of 1886, gain of about S239, 800, 900, or
80 per cent over last week, and de-
crease as compared with the like week a
year ago of S23,000,00o, or ? l-5 per cent.
The domestic money markets are
easier in all directions, not excepting
Boston, where rates were unusually high
last week. Loans are freer at Kansas
City, St Louis and Milwaukee, as there
! is less demand from the country, and
New York exchange has gone to par
At Chicago funds are relatively stronger
| than elsewhere, being in good demand
and somewhat scare, owing to delayed
receipts from the interior.

stocks Of wheat in sight have increased
about 81 000 900 bushel. Brazilian coffee
receipts have declined still further, ad-
vencing prices &c at Rio and &c at Santos.

tinue to strengthen prices here. Sugar
is steadier, and centrifugal is l-16c higher.
High grade sugars are wanted by refiners
